As things are beginning to settle down. My mother is FINALLY out of the hospital and staying with my sister in Birmingham! I am working on updating this blog with some photos and summaries for the project and how the students are responding!
The students had a book report due on October 6th. The report consisted of the students creating a cereal based upon the book they are reporting. The oral presentations were the commercials. Many students did not want to get up in front of the class and speak. Some were even extremely frightened. The photos depict some of the students lending a helping hand in calming some classmates nerves. Not only was it encouraging to see the students help each other, but it made for some laughs as well. The students are becoming a close knit group. I have told them all year we are one team, we may get on each others nerves; but we must learn to be respectful and unconditional in out actions. The book reports showed this was becoming "normal" in my class. The students have taken on the "I can say something about you.... but no one else can say anything about you! attitude!"
